Sen. President says foreclosure bill “unlikely” to pass, then puts it on calendar

Senate President Don Gaetz told a prominent foreclosure defense and title attorney on Tuesday that the speedy-foreclosure bill was “unlikely” to pass this year as it was still sitting in its last committee and committee meetings were over this session.

That was in a 1:45 p.m. email to Clearwater attorney Greg Clark.

By 5 p.m., Gaetz had pulled it from the committee agenda and put it on the Senate special order calendar headed to the floor.

“As you may know, SB 1666 is currently waiting to be heard in its next committee, the Senate Committee on Appropriations. With Senate committees no longer meeting this session, it is unlikely this bill will pass,” Gaetz wrote in his email. “Again, thanks for writing. Your comments, criticisms and suggestions make me a better Senator.”

Katie Betta, a spokeswoman for the president’s office, said this morning the bill is placed second on today’s special order calendar.

“This is the reason we used the term ‘unlikely’ in the email responses for bills with pending committee references,” Betta said. “The President has not withdrawn very many bills from committee, however this is one of those cases.”

Rest here…
